Collect of Lawrence of Brindisi, Confessor & Doctor of the Church

According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who, on the feast of any Saint, recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.


V.
 O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray
O Lord, Thou didst confer the spirit of wisdom and fortitude on Saint Lawrence, Confessor and teacher of faith, to help him perform difficult tasks for the glory of Thy name and for the salvation of souls. At his intercession, grant us by the same Spirit the grace to know what we ought to do and the courage to do it.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.
